The Origin of Rice and Small Streams

Once upon a time, there were two blind women. They were kindhearted, but
they were very poor. In order to eat, they had to beg from their neighbors and
sometimes they were driven away or given nothing. Nevertheless, they did not
complain but went on living each day as best as they could.
Once when they had no food for some time, they decided to walk to the next
village to try their luck there. They walked slowly, feeling for footholds among the hilly
paths. When they had walked some distance, they bumped into a large rock. The
impact sent their bodies reeling. Dazed, they held on to each other and tried to get
back on their feet. But they had gone too long without food, and now they could not
even stand.
The rock opened magically, and out of its granite depths a young woman
emerged. She took the two blind women by the hand and let them inside. An old
woman seated them at a stone table and gave them food to eat. "Now tell me what
you need," said the old woman to them when they had finished their meal.
One of the blind women said, "I am always hungry. I need food, but I am blind
and I cannot work for a living in the fields."
The other replied, "I am always thirsty. I always need something to drink, but I,
too, am blind and I cannot find my way even to the smallest spring."
The old woman gave the first woman a sack of rice that would never be empty.
To the other she gave a bottle of water that would never be drained dry. They both
thanked the old woman profusely and felt their way back home. They lived together
happily, never wanting anything more than what they already had.
After some time, though, they told each other that it was not right to keep to
themselves the good fortune that they had been given. So the one who owned the
magic sack of rice took a handful of grain and sowed it; when the grain was harvested,
she gave it to the people in the village. The one who owned the magic bottle poured
some of the water out onto the land where it changed into many small brooks and
streams. On their banks flowers soon grew, and to the streams people came to fetch
water for their various needs.
